James Williamson & Mary Lamont

[PJ Campbell]

Hi there,  I'm trying to trace a marriage record for a James Williamson & Mary Lamont.  They had several children who were all bapt. in the Portglenone 1st Pres. Church.  Ellen b. 13/12/1888, Sarah b. 22.10.1891 and Mary Lamont Williamson b. 20/04/1896. 

Any information on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Joanne

there is a marriage Ballymena 1888 to a Margaret lamont   ,I don't know  if Ballymena is near ??

Hi,
   Your Ballymena marriage looks a better result as Portglenone is only 8 miles away and the baptism dates are a better fit.

The above marriage took place on 12 Nov 1888 in Ballymena Registrars Office. The fathers' names were James Williamson and Robert Lamont.

Thanks people, but I have the marriages for Nancy and Margaret but can't seem to find one for MARY. 

Here's the thing.  I'm looking for the mother of Samuel Boyd Williamson.  I have his marriage cert. which tells me his Father is James Williamson.  In the 1901 census Samuel has his sister Ellen (12 yrs) with him at 5 Gorteraghy, Killoquin North, Antrim.  Also in 1901 census there is a James Williamson living next door, 4 Gorteraghy, Killoquin North, Antrim (seems too much of a coincidence) with daughters Mary b. 1882 (19yrs), Sarah b. 1893 (8yrs), Jane b. 1895 (6yrs) and Martha b. 1897 (4yrs). 

The Ellen Williamson I found in Portglenone 1st Pres. seems to have been born about the right time and that is where I also found Samuel's daughter Ellen b. 26/06/1892.

I have found in the Portglenone 1st Pres. records a Mary Williamson b. 13/11/1878 but mother is Nancy Lamont. 

I don't know if this James Williamson is Samuel's father and if his daughters are Samuel's sisters.  I can't find Martha's birth record or Jane's.

while searching for you I didn't come across a marriage for mary lamont,

do you think it's possible  ???margaret ///mary are the same person

[PJ Campbell]

I maybe thought the same thing but I also thought I was being very careful when reading the record on the microfilm and writing the name down.  But I wonder if the 'y' of Mary is meant to be a 'g' for an abbreviated Margaret (Marg.)
